mixedup

thanks Area-51 - this seems quite tricky...I'll try to dig in. Can I ask, to get a rough idea, are there any weightshift trike pilots that fly in/out of any controlled airports in Australia, albeit occassionally? (or is this something that just not really done) In terms of Part91, just to get an idea, would a manufactuer built Airbourne trike (or one of the models) with Rotex engine (serviced) potentially pass the CASA regs?

Curious to know (as I ponder weight shift trikes, and which trike) whether there's a possibility of being allowed to land at a Control Zone D airport (e.g. in Qld such as Sunshine Coast or Archerfield) with such an aircraft? (assuming required license/endorsements). I guess there are two questions, with Q1 being my main question: Q1 - What Weight Shift Trike apsects would there need to be to be allowed here? e.g. Rotex engine of specific make? Factory built and not kit made? Any example of trikes currently available in Australia (new or 2nd hand) that would pass this? Q2 - If yes (to Q1) can the required pilot licenses/endorsements be completed under RAAus? (or does one need to get this at the CASA level). Thought I heard RAAus was trying to arrange something here.....

I guess what I'm still trying to understand is whether the restriction for "no flight over built-up areas" apply to non-factory built RAA aircraft only? i.e. does this apply to 19-xxxx aircraft but not 24-xxxx aircraft. Well specifically if I wanted to purchase a 2nd hand RAA aircraft, but wanted to be able to fly into Class-D airspace/aerodrome without problems can I basically do that with a 24-xxxx registed, but not a 19-xxxx registered? (still haven't been specifically able to see this distinction in the regs...)

So who performs checks on aircraft flying into Class D aerodromes then? And what database would they be checking the registration (e.g. 19-xxxx) against to see if it is "allowed" into controlled airspace?

Anyone used the Garmin app with Australian maps to be able to compare it with OzRunways? Background: I saw this link: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/aviation/aviation-database-coverage-and-capabilities-expanded-in-australia/
